After a full two quarters of an hour, Wang Xuanqing finally finished reading the entire ancient books of the "Su Nu Sutra".

Her expression was a little unnatural, probably because the bold records in ancient books were still a little difficult for her to accept.

For example, I talked about some of the "Nine Methods of Men and Women", which roughly means that men and women imitate the different postures of nine animals when they have sex: dragon flip, tiger step, ape fighting, cicada attached, turtle Teng, phoenix Xiang, rabbit sucking, fish scales, and crane neck.

It is said that these nine methods all have different effects, and they all have a common feature, that is, they can all strengthen the body: or "seven injuries are self-eliminated", or "energy is a hundred times greater", or "all diseases are eliminated", or "all diseases are not born", or "all diseases are cured", or "seven injuries are self-healing......

By the way, there are also some prescriptions for Chinese medicine, such as the prescription for treating the "disease of ghost sex", the prescription for "making people immortal in the room", the prescription of "insects in the yin" and the seven prescriptions of "four seasons tonic prescription", Wang Xuanqing's pretty face is almost red and about to drip water......

However, a ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through her mind, should you try this method with Ling Hao in the future?

"That's right...... We have to find a way to transcribe this scroll, and maybe it will be useful in the future. Only then did Wang Xuanqing remember the business she was going to do here.

But...... What to do?

If it was just copied on paper, I am afraid that it would not be possible to copy it in 30 years.

Just when Wang Xuanqing was worried about this, Ling Hao had quietly broken away from Gao Rong's embrace, lit the lamp, and began to write hard.

The lamps used by the aristocracy are made of porcelain and noodles, and their shapes are diverse. It is generally bowl-shaped, with a diameter of two city inches, a height of one city inch, and a cylindrical wick in the middle of the void. The home-made "noodle lantern" is steamed with bean flour, cornmeal or white flour, commonly known as "lamp bun". To use, the oil is filled in its dimple with a built-in wick.

The emergence of celadon lamps in the Eastern Han Dynasty also gradually replaced the previous bronze lamps. By the time of the Six Dynasties, the shape of the lamp had been basically stereotyped into three parts: the oil lamp, the supporting column, and the bearing plate. During the Western Jin Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, the Yue kiln celadon lamp appeared to make the pillar into the shape of a bear, and three beast-shaped or hoof-shaped feet were installed under the bearing plate. Most of the lamps in the Southern Dynasties were inadequate, and the bollards became very tall. Entering the Tang Dynasty, which was highly economically developed, lanterns began to appear in large numbers in the court and the Lantern Festival as a practical and decorative object. Due to the development of the ceramic industry in the Song Dynasty, each kiln has its own distinctive ceramic lamps to continue the glory of the prosperous era. The style of the lantern in the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot, there is a kind of lantern with a small pot with a lid on the upper part, and the basin bracket is the lower part, and the wick is inserted into the pot from the spout, which is novel and unique.

And since there were no porcelain utensils in this high-martial world, Ling Hao fired a simple porcelain lantern by himself, which came in handy at this time.

In fact, he was not asleep at all, but was waiting for the crow to return, and since he was now in the Luoyi Academy, he could no longer use the crow to transmit the message in full view of the public as before...... It was only in the dead of night, after waiting for everyone to rest one after another, that he was able to take advantage of this gap to grasp the situation inside and outside the Lingfu through the crow messengers trained by the Ling Mansion.

At this moment, Gao Rong was already very tired from being tossed by Ling Hao, and fell asleep early.

Now, it's already the second watch, and most of the people have already slept, so no one should find out.

In ancient times, the folk divided the night into five periods, and used drums to beat the time, so it was called five watches, five drums or five nights.

One night is divided into five watches, namely one watch, two watches, three watches, four watches, and five watches.

One watch refers to from dusk, corresponding to 19-21 o'clock.

A watch is in the time, called dusk, also known as sunset, sunset, sunset, evening and so on. By this time, the sun had set, and it was going to be dark. The sky and the earth are dim, and everything is hazy, so it is called dusk. At this time, people are still moving.

The second is to designate the faint and quiet, which corresponds to the 21-23 points of the later generations.

When the second watch was in Hai, celebrities were fixed, also known as fixed dusk, etc. At this time, the night is dark, and people have stopped their activities and slept peacefully.

Bang, Bang - two big gongs with two bangs, which is called "two more and two points" in customs. Compared with the first watch, the second watch has completely darkened, and most of the people have washed and slept at this time, preparing for tomorrow's early work.

The third watch is from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day.

When the third watch is in the middle of the night, it is generally called the middle of the night, also known as the middle of the night, the middle of the night, etc. It was the first hour of the twelve, and the hour of the darkest night. It was undoubtedly the darkest time of the night, when darkness was enough to consume everything. And those legendary demons and monsters came out to operate at this time.

The fourth watch is from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m.

When the fourth watch is ugly, the famous rooster crows, also known as the wild chicken, the second hour of the twelve hours. Although the day after the third watch should slowly become brighter, the fourth watch still belongs to the night, and it is the time when people sleep the deepest, so in this night when they can't see their fingers, there are thieves who take advantage of this dark night to start a mess. Therefore, these four watches can also be called the time of "dog thieves".

The fifth watch is from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

When the fifth watch is in Yin, it is called Pingdan, also known as dawn, morning, day, etc., which is the time when night and day alternate. At this time, the chickens are still crowing, and people are gradually waking up from their sleep to welcome the new day. 56

The folk saying also says: "One more people, two more gongs, three more ghosts, four more thieves, five more chickens." ”

At six or seven o'clock, the sun rises and a new day begins.

In fact, it is not that the ancients wanted to go to bed early, but that there are so few entertainment facilities and leisure activities in this world that at night, neither the common people nor the nobles know what to do, so what else can be done except to go to bed obediently.

Ling Hao calculated carefully, the time of the night was only about half past ten at best, and most people had already gone to bed...... This would have been almost unthinkable in the afterlife.

As an office worker in the future, Ling Hao was still working overtime most of the time during this time period, how could he hide in the bed and do these embarrassing things with Gao Rong like this......

At the same time, Ling Hao saw a business opportunity, the lack of nightlife forced everyone to rest early, although this is absolutely healthy and will not stay up all night, but this kind of nightlife is definitely very monotonous and boring.

If you can figure out a night market that is open 24 hours a day like the Song Dynasty, then the nightlife of everyone in this world will definitely be much richer......

Well, this can definitely be had, as long as the nightlife is opened, naturally no one will take the initiative to run out to do business.

As long as there is money to be made, it is worth it even if you are tired at night.

So Ling Hao wrote the idea of the night market into his letter, and he believed that Wang Meng and others would definitely be able to handle this matter well.

As for the main attraction of the night market...... It's going to be a late-night snack!

In this world, there are only two meals per person a day, and there is no such concept as "dinner" and "supper" at all.

No matter what era you are in, the food is always the most marketable, so let's arrange the wontons and dumplings first.

Wonton as a traditional noodle dish in later generations, but still did not appear in this world, this thing is not complicated to make, is made with a thin dough wrapped in meat filling, cooked after the pot, generally with a little soup when eating.

In the "Dialects" made by Yang Xiong of the Western Han Dynasty, it is mentioned that "the bread is called the wonton", and the wonton used to be a kind of cake, but the difference is that it is filled with meat and eaten after steaming; if it is cooked in soup, it is called "soup cake".

Ancient people believed that wonton was a kind of sealed bun without seven orifices, so it was called "chaos", and according to the rules of ancient Chinese word making, it was later called "wonton". At this time, there is no difference between wontons and dumplings.

Dumplings have not changed significantly for thousands of years, but wontons have developed in the south and have an independent style. Since the Tang Dynasty, the names of wontons and dumplings have been officially distinguished.

In the past, there was a saying in old Beijing that "winter solstice wontons and summer solstice noodles". Legend has it that during the Han Dynasty, the northern Xiongnu often harassed the frontier, and the people were not at peace. At that time, there were two leaders of the Hun tribe and the Tun clan, both of whom were very cruel. The people hated it to the bone, so they wrapped it into horns with meat filling, took the sounds of "muddy" and "tun", and called it "wonton". Hate to eat, and seek to calm the war, so that you can live a peaceful life. Because the first wontons were made on the day of the winter solstice, every household eats wontons on the day of the winter solstice.

Wonton has developed to later generations, and it has become a famous snack with many names, different productions, fresh and fragrant, all over the country, and has become a famous snack that is deeply loved by people.

Wonton is called by many names, most places such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang are called wonton, while Guangdong is called wonton, Hubei is called baomen, Jiangxi is called clear soup, Sichuan is called Zhaoshou, Xinjiang is called Ququ and so on.

As a person from the two lakes, Ling Hao didn't eat this thing before, and when he ordered supper and takeout, he also ordered wontons, this thing was still quite good, and when his hands and feet were cold in winter, he had a bowl of steaming shrimp stuffed wontons, and then drank a sip of hot soup...... It's beautiful.

As for dumplings, they are derived from ancient slots. The original name of dumplings was "Jiao'er", which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has a history of more than 1,800 years. It is a traditional specialty food loved by the Chinese people, also known as dumplings, which is the staple food and local snack of Chinese folk, and is also a New Year food. There is a folk song called "Big cold and small cold, eat dumplings for the New Year." "Dumplings are mostly boiled with dough stuffing.

Dumpling wrappers can also be made with hot noodles, puff pastry, eggs or rice noodles; the filling can be meat or vegetarian, sweet or salty; cooking methods can also be steamed, branded, fried, fried, etc. There are also three fresh meat fillings, shrimp, crab roe, sea cucumbers, fish, chicken, pork, beef, mutton, etc., and vegetarian fillings are divided into assorted vegetarian fillings, ordinary vegetarian fillings and so on. Dumplings are characterized by thin skin and tender filling, delicious taste, unique shape, complete types of raw materials and nutrients for the production of dumplings, and the cooking method ensures less loss of nutrients, and conforms to the connotation of food culture in this world, with all colors, flavors and flavors.

Dumplings are derived from wontons. In the course of its long development, there are many names, such as "prison pills", "flat food", "dumpling bait" and "powder horn" in ancient times. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called "crescent wonton", during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was called "wonton", in the Tang Dynasty, it was called "glaive-shaped wonton", in the Song Dynasty, it was called "slot", and in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was called "flat food"; In the Qing Dynasty, it was called "dumplings".

Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty and were pioneered by Zhang Zhongjing, a native of Dengzhou, Henan Province, the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, dumplings were still medicinal products, and Zhang Zhongjing used dough to wrap some cold-dispelling herbs to treat diseases (mutton, pepper, etc.) to avoid frostbite on the ears of patients......

Thinking about it like this, Ling Hao not only swallowed his saliva, but also wrote that he was hungry when he wrote a note, how embarrassing it was to say it.

But he believes that there will definitely be no shortage of foodies in this world, as long as the price is set cheaper and everyone can accept it, there will naturally be no market.

If this step is done, Lingfu will definitely not worry about running out of money in the future, wontons, dumplings are only a preliminary plan, and there will be fried dumplings, wonton noodles, fried buns, and spicy soup in the future......

Ling Hao seemed to have seen a pile of small money beckoning to him.
